Cruise Control Portfolios (CCP)
For ETFs, ETNs and Stocks
Almost all of the world's dominant investing vehicles are now being processed and ranked by the Maximum Gain per unit Risk methodology.
The large number of stock/ETF data sets being processed has caused the output CCP tables to become too difficult to browse.
Consequently Data Mining techniques have been programmed to automatically extract the Top performing CCP scores.
Check out the new CCP performance tables.
The majority of the stocks comprising the
Hard Assets Producer Index have been added
to the data sets being processed.
This data set is being added as it may provide an alternative way to defend against inflation that will be driven by the trillions of dollars of fiat currency being created worldwide.
( 09/03/10 ) The equity market staged a rally this past week and displayed strong positive volume, which is a sign of strength. Also the market Indicators have flipped to all Green.
I suspect two forces are driving this market Up. One is that the Bond market has displayed a local Top, causing dollars to flow into stocks. The second force is that historical charts of the September-October time frame are very poor market performers except when elections are near.
It is important to realize that this market move Up, is occurring in the context of a well defined trading range and until it breaks out of this range , stopping and reversing ( PSAR )may still be appropriate.
Gold mining stocks posted large gains due to impending mergers. ( Andean Resources Up 47.44% ) Check Out the Gold page.
On a personal note I will look to short the market if any weakness presents itself, as the trend remains in a choppy sideways channel. 200% short the Russell 2000 via the ETF TWM and The volatility ETF VXX should provide good gains on any decline. ( This is not a recommendation and is for information only.)

Please remember, that every "Hot Trend" will eventually peak out and the Decline, perhaps very rapidly. Recent examples are China(FXI), India(INP) and Natural-Gas(UNG ). Therefore to protect your gains you must have an exit strategy. The SelectSectors "Timing page" offers examples.
For decades Fidelity offered trading with their sectors based on hourly pricing. They have now terminated hourly pricing and imposed onerous trading rules. For this reason I use the Fidelity Sectors to determine the "Best" sectors, but then purchase either the underlying stocks or corresponding ETFs, Holders, ETN etc.
As an example, Energy Services ( FSESX ) is currently a strong sector and Power Shares ETF, Dynamic Oil & Gas ( PXJ ) has comparable performance.
Utilities ( FSUTX ) has very strong long term performance and Vanguard's Utility ETF ( VPU ) has comparable performance.
